Fedora girl asked:

…and I am in zone 7B. The temps are well into the 80s. Can I still plant these bulbs or should I wait for the fall or even next spring? Will they be fine in their original boxes or do I need to do something?

I have several nice rich stands of gladiolus. When the flowers are done blooming, the tall leaves start to flop over and look very messy.

Should I cut the leaves back, or tie them up so they are neater?

JAS asked:

I’ve started them early, mid-season, in different places, even in pots with the best potting soil. I live in zone 5. I have a lot of evergreens around the yard, could that make a difference? I have lots of other flowers that do well. Any ideas?



Has anyone had any experience with gladiolus?

DigitalDiva asked:

I am in zone 6 and was wondering about how long they bloom for. I want to plant some of them in the front yard, but not if they only bloom for a very short period of time.
